Throughout these articles and videos, there is a similar theme of calling students to create. Both "What do the learning theories say about how we learn?" and "Rethinking Learning: The 21st Century Learner" (Learning Theories) advocated for formal learning (the learning of facts) and informal (the process of creating and producing) to be used cohesively instead of separately. With the Internet, knowledge is just a quick search away. The idea of the 21st learner is to use the variety of information and present it in a new and creative way. Technology helps students to show both their formal and informal learning by creating things like websites, video games, audio clips, videos, and so much more. Just as the Triple E framework suggests, technology can be a pivotal piece in enhancing learning to apply to everyday life. These authentic learning experiences allow for a lot of choice which can feel challenging to a teacher on how best to measure learning. Therefore, to help make these skills measurable, the teacher must have a working knowledge of how to create a clear and concise rubric. Rubrics are an importance piece in using technology to show competency.
